Side effects?

Treatment and medication
1

I need some reassurance or advice prior to my appointment with the Gp as im in a panicky state. Has anyone suffered with incontinence whilst taking citalopram?

Im 31 with no children and ive had incontinence for around 3wks. I did have a cold which I thought might be a factor as I had a nasty cough but the now the cough has gotten alot better and hardly there. But the incontinence has stayed? Help

Many thanks x

I haven't had incontinence not sure this is a side effect of the Med but definitely mention it to your doctor !

I've been on 40mg for 7 months

I do urinate more often it seems and more urgently not sure if that's from this Med or other ones I'm on. Good luck

Thank you for replying. Im hoping its to do with the cough. But its playing havoc with my anxiety and feel panicky and self concious today x

I had quite some episodes of diarrhea and still have them from time to time (I hate them!) but never really incontinence. However, I've read some 2 or 3 postings of people who had real bad cases (no time to reach the WC in time). You should definitely mention that to your doc.

Thank you x yes the urge to go is very strong more than usual but just having this other effect too which is unpleasant x I sympathise as I still get bouts of diarrhoea x

Hey Jellycat,

For about 2 or so weeks I had incontinence however it stopped ? whether that is the citalopram ? I do find I go a lot urinating? Dont get too worked up it will either pass or the doc can give you something for it its all good keep cool my friend

I suffer with bile salt malabsorption, side effect of gall bladder removal but not incontinence unless I'm laughing....

I would double check this with your GP
